A Year as a Travel Filmmaker

I began hosting, producing and filming travel shows on TV, then in 2016 I started this YouTube channel in the hope of sharing stories that were unscripted, spontaneous, filled with more heart and emotion than the travel shows or vlogs I saw that only showed the surface layer or tourist attractions. It has been a challenging year, and certainly as a YouTuber I still have so far to go, but these adventures have filled me with tremendous gratitude and a desire to keep documenting the beauty and kindness of humanity all over the world.

I film and edit alone, travelling the world as a one-girl production company with tripods, my drone and multiple cameras. Although I am Australian, I have lived in many different countries around the world, including Italy, Japan, the UK, Spain and Monaco. I have studied Italian, Spanish and Japanese and I'm usually based in Italy.

I started this YouTube channel about 7 months ago and thanks to the support of such encouraging fellow dreamers, filmmakers and travellers around the world, I have decided to upload weekly vlogs to encourage others to travel, stay motivated and follow their dreams.

If you want to try filming alone, I've written a post about how I work and what camera equipment I use here:

If you love to travel, film, dream or you're planning to do what I did & quit your job to follow your passion or live an adventure, come find me on social media for daily inspiration & motivation. :)

Your videos always seem to make my heart swell and my feet itch What I love about your videos is you show that travel isn't about the places you go to but the people in those places. It's the people that make you love life. Beautiful work Kylie!

What a delight to come across somebody with so much care and kindness for humanity but also passion and determination to make a magical dream of their own happen. Very inspiring indeed! Kylie's parents clearly did a very good job in raising her, they must be very proud.

Hi Kylie, I just discovered your channel due to an ad posted on another video I was about to see and, believe me, not only did your communication impact me possitively, but the quality of your images, filming, editing and over all, the contents of it really touched me deeply, because you know that your video implies much more than a 2:38 min. comm. All of your life philosophy, the courage, self determination, the learning, the persistance it is taking you to fulfill your goals; the good will and generosity to dedicate your lilfe and youth to pursue survival at its most for everyone and all over the world, is exuded from your introduction video and it all reaches and inspires us to follow your example to make of this a better world in our own ways. THANK YOU Kylie, is not enough, you really made my day!
